Comments on Continental Extreme Contact DWS, What is the Verdict?

Based on the extremely good reviews this tire has received I just put 4 on my wife's Lincoln LS. Much too early to come up with a verdict but I must say that they are quiet. This is the 3rd set of tires on that car and it only has 51,000 miles on it. It originally came with Continentals and I replaced those with Firestone Firehawks. In both cases after relatively few miles the previous tires became noisy to the point where driving the car 150 miles gave you a headache. I have Continental Contact Sports 2 on my Porsche 911 and am very happy with them. Hope the same holds for the DWS. 4 tires (225/55/16) mounted, balance, stems, valves, sales tax etc. about $600

Bill, have you done any winter/snow driving with the Conti DWS tires in the year that you've had them? What's your experience been?

I'm sorry unless you were born at night, like last night "All Season" tires & I don't care which brand your talking about are only at best 3 season tires & those seasons don't include winter! If want control & safety driving in any type of winter conditions please spend some money & buy yourself a set of winter tires. Your car & any passengers who ride with you will thank you, it'll make a world of difference. All season stands for "Great Marketing Tool" If anyone who sells or tries to sell you tires tells you different their lying to you & putting a sale before your safety! Take it from someone who drives in Canadian winters-Thanks
